Peston tweet. I think this is the first time the names have been listed???

The nine ministers (Clark, Gauke, Rudd, Mundell, Newton, Buckland, Ellwood, Harrington and Brine) who in two separate meetings told @theresa_may they would quit if she does not take a no-deal Brexit off the table.

@Mr. Elbee 'as appropriately detailed and clear as PPI deals were..This is not a good move.'
That was my feeling, just as claims re: PPI mis-selling look to be coming to end this summer, they're entering a 'tied-sales' arena, which can position sales-commission vs customer interests. I used to work for a time within the CAOs office of a private client bank/broker, monitoring client objectives (and hence what brokers should have been steering clients into) vs what commission-heavy products some of them tried to get away with. It needs good IT systems/reporting and diligence to make the sales staff know you are ahead of any mis-directed er... 'greed' on their part.


@EssInv - 'Are Lloyds really creating value by buying back shares, I'm not so sure on that.'
Buy-backs suit the affairs of some investors more than others. But their impact is not always clear-cut. For example I'm thinking back to Berkeley Homes/BKG who appeared to launch a buy-back programme to crush uber-shorter Crispin Odey. How the share price yo-yo'd for seemingly ever. You never knew what div you'd receive [net of what they'd spent on buy-backs]. Eventually it paid off, after years [IIRC], but it was a confusing a dispiriting time to remain an investor.

Pro Brexiteers or Anti Brexiteers! Stay calm! we should be united for the UK. Not fighting among ourselves. Don't let the bullies, corrupt morons in Brussels intimidate us. All these squabbling at home by traitors, defectors are giving the unelected fraudsters in EU a chance to laugh at us and think they have an advantage over us. Truth is they are very worried, they not only need our money to pay the rats in EU. They will lose a lot more. German, French, Dutch, Spain etc will be crying. They are united and can bully us temporary! but once we are out, we will see the cracks and EU come down crashing! They will be crying and come crawling to us. BE STRONG!!
Gangsters and Bullies always think they are strong and tough! Once they are aware we are no pushover, or we hit them hard where it hurts, The Gang members will be fighting and blaming among themselves. Who cares! We are out! We are richer while they are poorer!

"The only people they talk to are retired geriatrics at tea dances."

LOL

Sounds like C4.

They go to Mansfield for the intellects view!

ROFLMAO!

[careful] 21/2/2019 13:07

I see Sky are up to their Brexit tricks again.
They go to a seat where a Tory remain MP has resigned to interview the public.
The only people they talk to are retired geriatrics at tea dances.

We know the geriatric vote is strongly Brexit.
Most are retired and it will not affect their futures.
So why not have some fun and shake things up a bit?

The only boil that needs to be lanced is the one containing 17.4M strands of puss on top of the British bulldog's head.

[minerve] 21/2/2019 12:47

I like Dominic Grieve.

[grahamite2] 21/2/2019 12:46

Widely reported that Dominic Grieve and Justine Greening are thinking of leaving. Probably for the best - it's a boil that has to be lanced.

"Re the Gang of 10, or however many there now are, how long before their little Independent Group realise that they're fundamentally at odds with each other, which is bound to happen or why would they have originally been in separate camps?"

Unlike Labour and the Tories then!

Honestly, stupid comment.

[minerve] 21/2/2019 12:44

K38

I don't think the resignations make much difference at all with regards to Brexit happenings short-term.

Rough numbers but 2.5% less shares in issue due to buyback. Obviously this is diluted by further director and employee share schemes. Given the buyback, you could a tribute the 5% increase in dividends in part to last year's buyback. Same going forward..

The buyback reduces this year's dividend but has a permanent long term effect on future dividends. The are also some fax advantages. Dividends are taxed as income and even in a shop some of the tax can no longer be reclaims. See internet for dividend tax swipe Gordon Brown did on pensions.

With the buy back you are hitting capital gains tax or for isa and shop holders, no tax.

[robwt] 21/2/2019 12:35

Maybe even 120p!!

[skinny] 21/2/2019 12:29

I'd have to agree - do buybacks ever really benefit shareholders or share price come to that! Look at SLA.

[essentialinvestor] 21/2/2019 12:22

Only fair to say that Richard Buxton appeared to think Lloyds dividends would
have been more generous, if you look at his comments from a couple of years
back.

Are Lloyds really creating value by buying back shares, I'm not so sure on that.

Add further to reserves, more generous on the payout, no buyback, would have
been preferable imv.

kk56 - I used to use the filter - it works fine - but not these days. I either read or (sadly) mostly skip posts that just do not require reading. Works well for me.

Same here. Frankly a lot of posts from people I totally agree with come in the dr tl tb class! But I wouldn't filter them and I certainly wouldn't filter the oppo.
